Nancy L, Good morning! I read that you have been on Herceptin for nearly 6 years. Are you having any of the usual side effects, ie: red, dry eyes, hand & foot neuropathy, red face along with hot flashes,fatigue, chemo fog. I was on Herceptin for 5 years and I am off it for 3 years. I still have all of the above except for red eyes. I was just curious. Mary L
